Brandywine Shawl is a lace shawl design by Romi Hill. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and although I normally prefer to work from the charted instructions, I found that I had to refer to the written instructions to get started. Once I understood the pattern repeat I was able to follow the charts. This pattern required my attention more so than usual; it wasn't easy TV knitting, but the finished shawl is lovely!

So very pretty...it will make any outfit even nicer. I'm trying to teach myself crochet again. Youtube has some great videos to teach step-by-step projects. I made some baby booties but used the wrong needle and so they'll probably fit only a tiny doll! Haha!

Here I am quietly following your blog and admiring how creative and productive you are with your quilt-making and then apparently out of nowhere you come out with this glorious lace shawl that must have taken hours and hours of focussed time to knit. And I think you did the same, not too long ago. You are truly amazing:)
